Three Young Man United Players Solskjaer Should Give Minutes Too Against Cardiff City

Well, the Premier League season is nearing the end, with just one more game to play, and for a few teams, their last game could define there season.

Unfortunately, this won’t be the case for Manchester United, they’ve already missed out on a Champions League spot, and it’s certain they’ll finish 5th or 6th in the league. Manchester United will be welcoming Cardiff City to Old Trafford on the last day of the season, with Cardiff already been relegated, they to have nothing to play for, and both teams are simply going through the motions.

With that in mind I’m hoping Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will give some of the youngsters a run out. Manchester United have a history of playing, and developing youngsters through the academy, and the fans have already had a glimpse of a few of the up and coming academy youngsters. Three of them being Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong, and Mason Greenwood. During the Red Devils recent player of the year awards, English striker Greenwood was awarded the Jimmy Murphy Youth Team trophy, before Dutch forward Chong took home the Denzil Haroun Reserve Team prize.

Tahith Chong

It’s difficult to make the transition from the exciting prospect of the academy to first team player, but the head coach of the academy, Nicky Butt as suggested that Tahith Chong is one of several young players at the club who have the required work ethic to achieve that ambition.

Nicky Butt on Tahith Chong, “I remember when he signed a few years ago, speaking to his parents, looking them in the eyes and saying I genuinely believe there is a way into the first team for you.”

The young rapid Dutch forward made his first-team debut back in January in a cup tie against Reading, he’s since registered four outings for the first team, one being in the Champions League against PSG.

Mason Greenwood

Mason Greenwood began his career as a midfielder but has since evolved into a centre forward, he’s good with both feet and is rapid, and a very exciting player to watch. Clayton Blackmore said on Mason Greenwood “He’s great on the ball and very good with both feet. He’s the first person I’ve seen that takes penalties and free-kicks with his wrong foot. I’ve never come across anyone like that!”

Angel Gomes

Then there is Angel Gomes, the very talented 5ft 3in, attacking midfielder. The 18-year-old as composure, great dribbling skills and is creative, his playing style has been compared to that of Ronaldinho. Even though Gomes is very small in size he sees the game seconds before others, and just like Paul Scholes, Gomes as the ability to dictate a game with his intelligence.

These three youngsters are the future of Manchester United in my opinion, and I’m hoping Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lets the Old Trafford faithful see what they’re made of.
